Tips:

For the best ceviche, use the freshest fish possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has clear eyes.
Before marinating the fish, be sure to remove any bones or skin. This will help the ceviche to cook evenly.
Use a variety of citrus fruits in your ceviche. This will give the dish a bright and flavorful taste.
Be careful not to overcook the fish. Ceviche is best when the fish is still slightly raw in the center.
Serve ceviche with a variety of toppings, such as avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime wedges. This will add extra flavor and texture to the dish.

Conclusion:

Ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or gathering. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a little practice, you can make ceviche that is sure to impress your friends and family.
